No, I don't mind at all, thank you for the explanation, thank you !!
Looked up this doctor again and his license showed under Interns and Residents which expired 6/2019. Under Medicine and Surgery, he's listed as his initial license being 2017. Doing the search under the hospital, it is showing he is Board Certified in Psychiatry and his years of practice is 4 and he completed his Residency 6/2019, started 7/2015. Undergrad in another country and that ended in 2015, so there are no gaps in time that I can see. There are no ratings when I googled him either. So, will inquire what his status really is when I see him. Being soo new to this, I guess I am his clinical experience, I hope he is supervised.
Sorry to hear about your "friend". Yes, pm me when you get a chance. Have a nice Labor Day

First of all, a person is considered a doctor as soon as they graduate from medical school and become an MD. From this point, they do a residency in their chosen field.
During residency the doctor acquires many, many hours of training seeing and treating patients. As they advance in a residency program, they also train medical students and lower level residents.
When doctors graduate from residency, they are new attending physicians. At this point, they have a lot of experience with treating patients and training med students and lower level residents.
The psychiatrist that I see is a new physician, and he has already seen hundreds of patients. I would definitely not worry. My new young doctor also teaches medical students and residents.
Sorry about the long explanation. I hope it helps a little.
I hope it works out with him. Please let us know how it goes.
I am doing alright. Thank you for asking. When I get the chance, I'll PM you about what happened. I am no longer friends with that person. But, I'll let you know.
GL on your new appointments!
